Editor Labor En;uIrei
A great deal Is said by politicians and
the press. about the pauper labor o.
Europe, and the high pricsd labor Of
protection. THE fact is. that 10 some in'
dustries and localities. labor is better
paid In Europe than in America. aud so
long as rresent conditions exist, the
tendency OF wages to he lover IN. the
Uuited States than in Europe. is bound
To rapidly increase; and that such Is
the case will b. shown in Subsequent

rate of wages II we are to credit protsc-
tionsts-we should 70 TO Pennsylvania

what do we there fad 70 be the case ?
Henry George thai noble champion

which are certified to by tho Bureau Of

George tells US, "reallv generous men,"
pay their men from Sl.lO to $l.l5 per
day; but as these men worked only ll9
davs In the wear, their annual income
was at most but $l26 So. Now let us CON-
pare this with the report OF Consul
Malmros. at Leith. Scotland, to the state
department at Washington, for Noyem-

weaver Of that region earns yearly sum
equal to $253 and the mode in which
this sun is expended provIs that the
Scotch weaver is one vastly better than
